The architect of life — four bonds spanning perfect tetrahedra, one face of the Merkaba. 18.5% of you is carbon: the load-bearing scaffold behind everything organic.
Forged in dying red giants through the triple-alpha process. Every carbon atom in your body once burned at 100 million degrees inside a star.
Lab note · The backbone of every organic molecule. Sugars, fats, proteins, DNA — all built on carbon's four-fold bond.
